It’s all got a little bit tedious with Alexander Isak and Liverpool, hasn’t it?



At least that was until the Wandsworth-born forward captured the imagination of the football world when he netted a hat-trick in the 2024 Europa League final for Atalanta.

It secured the Serie A side’s first-ever piece of European silverware and cemented Lookman’s place in the history books.

Fast forward just over a year, and the Europa League final hero has been angling for a move away from Atalanta, with his eyes set on moving to a club consistently challenging for silverware.

He might not be as flashy as an Isak addition would be, but with 52 goals and 25 assists in 118 appearances for Atalanta, is that something Liverpool fans should be particularly bothered about?

Lookman is 27 (turning 28 in October), meaning he’s in his prime as we speak and will be ready to make an immediate impact for the Reds this season.

That’s not all either, because Lookman has proven himself as being adept at playing anywhere across the front three, including centre-forward.

With the Isak deal stalling more than a dodgy first car, perhaps now is the time for Liverpool to shift gears and put their foot on the Lookman accelerator.
